When I first heard about the change from context/specify to describe/
it, I thought it was completely bone-headed.  A quick glance at an
example changed my mind, but I still don't feel good about 'it'.
Considering the number of specifications that will start with
'should', why not use --- oh I don't know, 'should'?


describe Bowling do
   before(:each) do
     @bowling = Bowling.new
   end

   should "score 0 for gutter game" do
     20.times { @bowling.hit(0) }
     @bowling.score.should == 0
   end
end
